Just a thought on fire extinguishers in general. I worked in health care and every year the fire extinguisher company came by and did inspections. When I bought my home extinguisher I bought from the same company and I take it in every few years for inspection. The last time they did a more complete periodic maintenance that cost a nominal amount. The point is to know what your extinguisher needs and have it checked so it is ready to go when you need it.

Do they shake them as part of the inspection to ensure that the dry chemical doesn't settle into hard pack at the bottom?
Or just strap a new inspection tag on them?
Cause you should shake them once a year or so.

Our stable crew foreman has extinguishers serviced twice, then after that they are replaced. She donates the original ones to charity.

Her husband had a background with dry chemical fire extinguishers and she feels this is the best method, based on his knowledge. I can't vouch for it one way or another.

I’ve never heard that one......especially with the metal heads.

You guys just reminded me to buy one and install it. I just never think about it but I have to do that before it's to late..

The best reminder is only one little fire.
I have had two.
One little one, and one BIG one!
